The world of contemporary mapmaking is brought up-to-date in this revised and expanded edition of a best-selling book.

Maps help us understand and navigate the world. In our age of satellite navigation systems and Google Maps, personal interpretations of the geography around us are becoming even more relevant. A Map of the World is a compelling collection of work by a new generation of original and sought-after designers, illustrators, and mapmakers.

This work showcases specific regions, characterizes local scenes, generates moods, and tells stories beyond sheer navigation. From accurate and surprisingly detailed representations to personal, naïve, and modernistic interpretations, the featured projects in this updated version range from maps and atlases inspired by classic forms to cartographic experiments and editorial illustrations.

Antonis Antoniou is fascinated by the ways in which material things can be brought to life through immaterial visualizations. He grew up in Cyprus, where he was interested in colors and forms from an early age. When not obsessively designing maps and lists, he makes his living as an architect.

"An arboreal odyssey" - nature"one of the most quietly beautiful books of the year" - daily maildiscover the secretive world of trees in jonathan drori's number one bestseller... Bestselling author and environmentalist jonathan drori follows in the footsteps of phileas fogg as he tells the stories of 80 magnificent trees from all over the globe. In around the world in 80 trees, jonathan drori uses plant science to illuminate how trees play a role in every part of human life, from the romantic to the regrettable.

From the trees of britain (this is a top search term), to india's sacred banyan tree, they offer us sanctuary and inspiration - not to mention the raw materials for everything from aspirin to maple syrup. Stops on the trip include the lime trees of berlin's unter den linden boulevard, which intoxicate amorous germans and hungry bees alike, the swankiest streets in nineteenth-century london, which were paved with australian eucalyptus wood, and the redwood forests of california, where the secret to the trees' soaring heights can be found in the properties of the tiniest drops of water. Each of these strange and true tales - populated by self-mummifying monks, tree-climbing goats and ever-so-slightly radioactive nuts - is illustrated by lucille clerc, taking the reader on a journey that is as informative as it is beautiful.

The book combines history, science and a wealth of quirky detail - there should be surprises for everyone. Perfect for fans of peter wohlleben's the hidden life of trees, this new book will certainly whet the appetite of any tree lover to take an around-the-world trip, or simply visit your local botanic garden. The perfect travel guide for nature enthusiasts.

Freed from the constraints of the physical world, these dreamscapes expand the possibilities for architecture and interior design.

Når du likevel skal ut og gå …

For 25 år siden ledet Leif Gjerland sin første «Kjenn din by»-vandring, og han har etter hvert lært å forstå at også gateløp er kulturminner. For selv om de går gjennom steder under stadige forandringer, fortsetter jo de aller fleste gater å gå der de ble til.

Gateløp inneholder altså minner fra tidligere tider i et bylandskap der både bygninger og landskapet har endret seg. En nysgjerrig tur langs en gate kan følgelig berette noe fra byens historie når vi rusler gatelangs på vår vante vei til og fra.

Denne boka er en samling av Aftenpostens sommerserie «Gatelangs», og gir tips om hva du kan se etter underveis på rusleturer i og rundt 18 av Oslos sentrale gater. Noe er sikkert kjent, mens andre tips kanskje gjør at du stopper opp på litt mindre kjente steder.

Velkommen til å gå gatelangs i Oslo!
